Growing up in Brooklyn prior to the seventies the "neighborhood" was your world. Nothing existing outside your neigh hood because everyone you knew lived there. All your family and neighbors which were like family. Irish, Italian, German. We all got along and we were all family.
In this new age of play dates and kids driving cars at 16 that concept no longer exists. If you grew up in a rural area this concept may not exist. The "neighborhood" was a close knit group of brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles and friends who shared the common bond of the "neighborhood".
The gentleman in question did appear to have been of Italian descent with a distinct Brooklyn accent.
